The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 319: Chapter 319 Platform Games

Speaking of the Abyss Console, their popularity among domestic players was not bad. After all, it was the only company that could be regarded as being sincere and serious in making game consoles. Even if their level was not enough to keep up with other companies around the world, it was the only one that has established a firm foundation, and many domestic players thought that it was going to have a bright future.

This time the Abyss console went to the great emperor Zhou Yu, and the goal was naturally the holographic game. As long as they could get this technology, they could make up the difference between the Abyss console and the world’s mainstream consoles, and even leap into the most advanced console. Opening up the international market would just be around the corner for them.

Although there were many competitors, the people of the Abyss believed that with the vision of Emperor Zhou Yu, he was definitely able to tell that only the abyss was the most sincere and the most serious about developing the game console. Other companies were only interested in the hype of the holographic games, and they were mainly here to deceive them so they could steal the technology and investment.

Whether or not it was the rise of the domestic game console, it would depend on this negotiation.

Therefore, the CEO of the Abyss company personally led some of the most competent subordinates, came to the amusement park to see Zhou Yu, looking for the possibility of transferring or cooperating on the research and development of holographic game technology.

Zhou Yu was very willing to support the domestic product, and he also knew the Abyss Console, but this cooperation was absolutely impossible. There were too many things that needed to be explained, and the Star Map Disc was directly given to him, there was no technical information at all, so even if he wanted to give it to them, he still couldn’t give it to them.

Zhou Fu knew that this was impossible, so he quickly gave an excuse to the abyss console and other investors that he was busy with the “underground city” project. In terms of Zhou Yu, he has been hiding in the villa area during this period, outsiders couldn’t see them at all. Watching the little kids of Luhua village walking in and out of the villa area all day, but they couldn’t, the people in suits and leather shoes that were blocked outside, all felt really frustrated.

After a while, and even several major foreign console companies also couldn’t sit still. They all sent people to the amusement park in hope of getting an accurate message. The study of holographic games was not new, but no one expected that it would appear in China first, and even the prototypes were already made.

The news of the potential holographic gaming era began to sweep all over the world. Even if they couldn’t get the technology from Zhou Yu, they would certainly increase their investment in research and prevent the gap from continuing to widen.

After the domestic companies were gone, and the foreign companies also were not able to get a good deal, the message became very clear. Either the emperor Zhou Yu really did not have the relevant technology, or he did not want to release the holographic technology at all. The latter approach was really incomprehensible, so more people believed that there was a hidden high-tech team behind Zhou Yu.

At the gate of the villa area, the people who wanted to see Zhou Yu gradually became less. The abyss console insisted on staying until the end, but when they were also about to give up, there was suddenly good news.

A bare-footed child ran over and said in a childish voice to the gate security guard: “Brother Yu said, let the people of the abyss console come in. He is waiting at Zen Villa.”

The people of the abyss console thought that it was about the holographic technology, so they were extremely excited, and then quickly followed the little kid to the Zen Villa.

On the training ground, Zhou Yu and Lou Xiaobao were practicing lance techniques. Without Bubu’s skill, Zhou Yu was not Lou Xiaobao’s opponent at all, and after just a few rounds, he was chased by Lou Xiaobao everywhere. Seeing the people in the abyss console come in, Zhou Yu quickly dropped the stick and fled from the training ground.

“Hello Mr. Zhou, I’m Qin Xu from the abyss console.”

The CEO of the company couldn’t stay here all the time, so only the poor secretary was left here to wait for Zhou Yu, but fortunately, they met with Zhou Yu today. It was just that he still didn’t know what Zhou Yu planned to do. If he really wanted to cooperate with their company, then he would definitely get a promotion and his salary would also be raised after going back.

“Abyss, isn’t it? I’m sorry to make you wait so long outside. But don’t get too excited too early. What I said before is true, and the technology of holographic games is not mine. You either have to do it yourself, or you have to find out the people behind me, and it’s completely a waste of effort to try to get information from me here.”

Zhou Yu’s words made Secretary Qin Xu’s smile freeze. He wanted to shout, ‘then why would you let us in? Are you playing with us?’

Then they heard Zhou Yu continue, “Of course, I am also very supportive of domestic products. If the abyss console likes it, we can still cooperate, for example, to make some platform only game for you, what do you think?”

Zhou Yu’s game development team was now renamed the Hu Tu studio, and a “Star Map” game has made it become very famous. Just because the holographic game was too amazing, it made people forget about this company completely.

The performance of the abyss console was the poorest among the mainstream consoles, and most of the platform games were mainly domestic. If Hu Tu studio joined them, they would definitely improve their market position. However, this decision could not be made by the secretary. He could only ask about Zhou Yu’s plan clearly, and then passed them to his CEO.

The game produced by Hu Tu studio did not necessarily have to be on PC. They could make games for any platforms that were available in the real world. It was just that the default settings were PC games, so Zhou Yu almost forgot this feature.

It was time to make some games on other platforms, and support Abyss, this domestic console company.

Checking the warehouse, there were two stories, “The Heartless Girl” and “Phantom Mind”, it was no problem to give one of them to the abyss. Although it was not possible to make extremely high-quality games due to the performance of the console, with the ability of Hu Tu studio, it would not be some bad games either.

The Abyss company attached great importance to the cooperation with Zhou Yu. Hu Tu studio was obviously a great studio. It would undoubtedly help the abyss a lot. Of course, a single game was not enough to change the situation, but if Zhou Yu was willing to continue to cooperate, then the abyss would really rise.

Although they didn’t get the holographic technology, it was also a huge gain to receive the support of the emperor, Zhou Yu.

A few days later, the Abyss CEO came to the amusement park again and held a press conference to make the cooperation between the two parties public.

To be honest, this conference really shocked some people. Everyone thought that Zhou Yu chose to give the holographic technology to the Abyss company, but the result was very disappointing. Zhou Yu only announced that Hu Tu studio would join the Abyss platform and develop no fewer than ten exclusive games such as “The Heartless Girl” or “Phantom Mind”.

What did the emperor want to do?

If he wanted to support domestic consoles, he could hand over the technology of holographic games to create the most advanced holographic game console, which was much better than making exclusive games. Was it true that Zhou Yu himself was very willing to give it out, but the people behind him did not agree with the outflow of technology?

The truth became more and more confusing.
